Im just about to drop in some tomei poncams 8.5mm lift into my rb25det and was contemplating doing the valve springs while ive already taken the cams out.

I was looking at the tomei type a valve springs 8.8mm lift , are these the correct ones I need?

Yep get Performance Springs.

I got a set in mine and they were a great price :blink:

You taking the head off to do the springs? (I did)

I looked on there site , which ones do I need cause its not model specific? and no Im going to do it with the head on and just pressurize the cylinder to hold them up.

The Performance springs is just little bit stronger then standard. The supertech springs are probably the best you can get at this stage. Those are stronger then the type B Tomei springs which are cheaper as well.

Totally agree. I lost one engine and broke valve springs in another with performance springs. If your aim is big hp the supertech is a much better option.

He is only after a 280-300rwkw setup it think so not huge HP/Boost given a stocker motor.

You're probably right Ash. they are an upgrade but if big hp is the goal I would choose other brands.

I am not the only one i know of to have probs with those springs in high hp situ's.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
